Across the media, emotions have been high in the aftermath of President-elect Donald Trump’s landslide victory. Many left-wing pundits have struggled to grasp Vice President Kamala Harris’s massive loss, including former United States Senator Clare McCaskill, who became visibly emotional on MSNBC when Harris gave her concession speech.
When asked her opinion on the MSNBC panel as Harris delivered her concession speech, McCaskill, getting choked up, said, “Well, I’m so proud. I’m so proud of her.” The Missouri Democrat proceeded to explain how difficult Harris’ political aspirations supposedly were. “I don’t think people realize how hard it is to get to where she was as a woman getting elected. DA is not easy,” she said.
McCaskill continued, “Guys, people don’t trust women to be in charge of making decisions about life and death and crime and being, frankly, a supervisor in some ways over police her fighting through the primary thicket of California politics to become Attorney General. Really hard.” She then outlined several challenges that she believes hindered the Harris campaign.
“I mean, this is really hard stuff for her to be selected as vice president, after what I think she would tell you was a very disappointing presidential race where I think she kind of lost her footing and was listening too much to consultants, frankly, and wasn’t it didn’t really exude who she was, and then to be vice president and to step into the most difficult situation in the world, where she had to be completely loyal to Joe Biden and respectful of the fact that he had chosen her, but yet maneuver in a situation,” she added.
“I mean, such political skill, it is just inspiring people who don’t understand what she had to do to get to this moment,” McCaskill continued. While fighting back tears, she concluded, “And so I’m just very proud.” Users on social media have reacted to McCaskill’s commentary, disputing her opinions on the Harris campaign.
One person commented, “”Such political skill, it was just inspiring” There’s no possible way they really think this is true.” Others highlighted that Americans were concerned with fundamental issues this election cycle. “She laments and cries over Kamala losing. The electorate has been lamenting and frustrated just trying to put groceries on the table & trying to pay the rent for the past 4 years,” another person said, pointing out the real issues.
“God saved the United States from total destruction and is putting it and the world on a path to peace, safety and prosperity,” another user said. “We don’t understand “what she had to do”? She had everything handed to her with putting in almost no effort. She agreed with Joe freely and willingly remained on the ticket and lied to the world that Joe was “fine”,” another person suggested.
The outcome of the 2024 presidential election has proven that the Democratic establishment and mainstream media failed to understand the issues that most Americans have been concerned with over the past few years.
